Anna Tsvetkov
I’m a Philosophy PhD and Computer Science ScM student at Brown. I work with Adam Pautz, Chris Hill, Ellie Pavlick, and David Chalmers (NYU). I'm also an AI researcher at MIT FutureTech.
My research focuses on developing a human-centered approach to AI that integrates philosophical inquiry about the mind with cutting-edge methods in computer science. The goal of my work is to use philosophy to guide carefully designed experiments on AI that deepen our understanding of the mind and, in turn, to use insights about the mind to build explainable and ethical AI.
Here is my CV.
